lawnmower hints & tips
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURES SAFETY PROCEDURES
Many years ago I had a small business called Barnsdale Mowers, it is/was an enterprise that I started from scratch and is still running in one form or another. During my time there is was accredited by Briggs & Stratton, Techumseh, Flymo ect as their warranty/service center, there are many repeating breakdowns that can easily be rectified and save you money!

- Always remove spark plug before any work on petrol machines
- Always unplug electric machines before doing any work
- Balance the blade and keep it sharp! this prolongs flymos by years!! or even any mower
- Over winter store petrol machines on the compression stroke,
- Empty and dispose of old petrol that has been unused and still in the petrol tank, common spring problem
- WD 40 cables and anything that twists or slides
- If you have to tip up a petrol machine up for maintenance ensure the carb is nearest the floor this will stop flooding and stop the valve chest filling with oil.
- Check oil level regularly
